The astrological significance of the festival is also included.
There are also rituals attuned to the events and stars of the season. Each chapter also includes meditations for each festival based on what is happening in nature, star meanings, and traditional meanings. Celestial events occurring during that time in the yearly cycle are pointed out, and their mythological and legendary associations explained. The quality of that time of year is described, and very good historical background and interpretation of the festival’s significance is provided. The constellations discussed in this book describe groupings of stars that are visible overhead, or on the horizon, at the time a festival occurs, as well as an overview of the zodiacal signs through which the sun travels during each season.Įach chapter is devoted to a single solar or cross-quarter festival. The seasonal and celestial events in this book are based in the Northern hemisphere. The Wiccan Year also embodies ideas found in the FOI liturgy cycle Psyche, a collection of psychic journeys to a variety of star systems and constellations.
This is an evolutionary concept, which will be especially meaningful to members of the Fellowship of Isis, as it reflects the continuum of energy and consciousness that connects the core of the earth and the farthest reaches of the cosmos, as shown in the spiral galactic glyph of the Fellowship of Isis. The preface describes the development of Judy’s idea for a book based on the Wiccan wheel of the year with its branches in the stars and its roots in the old agrarian seasonal festivals. Judy Ann Nock, Fellowship of Isis priestess of the Iseum of Urania Celesta and the Iseum of the Muses, has written a practical guide to the cycle of the year, with a focus on the star energy of each season.
